The interview:

The reporter sat in front of the three heroines in a conference room on comfortable sofa chairs. The seats were comfortable enough for them. Taylor, Amy, and Lisa all made sure to wear their more formal attire for the televised event.

"I'm Ariana Turner on channel one news. Here with three heroes from Brockton Bay, who agreed to a Q & A toe explain why they're here in New Zealand, and what they hope to accomplish in the city of Auckland."

The reporter turned her head from the camera towards the three of them. "So what made you all decide to come to Auckland?"

"Change in scenery," Lisa commented, "Brockton Bay is nice, but I've always wanted a change in pace from the city landscape I grew up in."

It was a deflection of the question, because no way any of them were going to reveal the truth to why they were there.

"And what about you, Amelia?" the reporter asked. "Not only did you leave a city with higher crime rates, a place where you could do more good. Gut after coming here you've also done far less hospital visits than you did in your home city, and you've even began charging millionaires for expensive surgical procedures that they'd rather pay you for than for a certified expert. Are you giving up hero work to use your powers for business only?"

Amelia swallowed. Lisa said, "if you're good at something, never do it for free. If things were any different, you'd be a journalist out of the kindness of your heart. "

Ariana took it as a joke and smiled, "but I think being a reporter is different from being a reputable hero. Isn't charging people for their powers almost the same as doing mercenary work as a villain?"

Taylor shook her head at her, "I don't think that's a fair comparison, Ariana. Amy never took requests before coming to New Zealand, and she did it for the sake of being fair. The fact of the matter is, Amy can't be everywhere at once. Now that she's finally requests, I don't think she should be ridiculed for using her talents."

"I wouldn't call powers the same as talent, though."

"Then you don't understand what talent is," Taylor retorted. "Just because someone has an ability that isn't attainable, it doesn't mean it's a skill that should never be utilized. Should heroes never use their powers to stop criminals, and be police officers without using their powers to be fair? It's a narrowing viewpoint that stops parahumans from using the maximum extent of their abilities."

"Then I think that brings me to my next question. Taylor Hebert, you've began opening multiple businesses using your 'bug control' powers."

"Invertebrate control," Taylor emphasized. "I also can control crustaceans when need be."

Ariana nodded. "You've opened up multiple stores in the area, while simultaneously controlling bugs to create resources for yourself. This includes steel-fiber wools which you sell to super hero agencies around the world. Beehive farms to produce honey and pollination across the country. And more recently, aquafarms for lobsters and crabs, where you've began selling rare colored animals to restaurants for them to sell. Aren't you worried you'll be running people out of business? Why work with farmers and fishers when they have you?"

Taylor shook her head, "that isn't the case at all. Part of the reason we came to New Zealand was that this country better accommodates Parahuman powers for business than America and Canada does. All those things you just mentioned? I don't sell those things on my own, I need help just like anyone else does. While I make sure the bugs and fisheries are always one hundred percent productive, our agency has provided benefits to people who harvest those products. Think of me more like the supplier, and the citizens as the harvesters."

"She's creating jobs, not taking them," Lisa emphasized. "It's a common misconception that she'll replace everyone, the opposite is true. The more she makes, the more she needs help with it. Her being in Auckland actually helps the local business flow."

"And what about you, Lisa Wilbourn? What are you up to? If Amelia is charging people for her healing services, and Taylor runs businesses to the side, what has Insight been up to in the meantime?"

Lisa chuckled, "well, Ariana. I gave up that superhero name when I decided to join New Wave. Call me a skeptic, but the hero alias was just never for me."

"Why so?"

"There's too much distance between parahumans and non-parahumans. Which is why I like New Wave more than I liked being a Ward. I encouraged Taylor and Amy to come here so that they could both use their powers more productively."

"And what will you be doing? Specifically, the world knows you're a high class thinker, how do you plan on putting your powers to use in a new city?"

"Oh, I'm thinking more on a smaller scale than these two. I'm going to start a detective agency."

"A Detective agency?"

Lisa nodded, "once you go hero, it's hard to shake it out of you."
